User Manager/RadioOS user Example

Introduction

User Manager server might be used as remote storage of RadioOS login and password information. A CableFree router will consult User Manager for login and password, when you are accessing RadioOS via Winbox or console session. Let us consider configuration steps.

RadioOS configuration

Set RadioOS to use User Manager server for checking login and password information,

 / user aaa set use-radius=yes

'/user aaa' has 'default-group' option, that define type of the default group. Default is read permissions, if you need to allow full permissions for users stored in User Manager database

 / user aaa set default-group=full

Add radius client to consult User Manager for login service.

/ radius add service=login address=y.y.y.y secret=123456

'secret' is equal to User Manager router secret. 'y.y.y.y' is the User Manager router address.

Note, first local router database is consulted, then User Manager database.

User Manager configuration

First, you need to download and install User Manager package;

Create User Manager subscriber (root customer). Note that when using a version 3.0 or newer, a subscriber called 'admin' is created automatically - you can skip the following stage and change 'CableFree' to 'admin' in subsequent steps;

/ tool user-manager customer add login="CableFree" password="qwerty" permissions=owner

Add RadioOS router information to router list,

In version 3:

/ tool user-manager router add subscriber=CableFree ip-address=x.x.x.x shared-secret=123456

In version 4:

/ tool user-manager router add customer=CableFree ip-address=x.x.x.x shared-secret=123456

'x.x.x.x' is the address of the RadioOS router, 'shared-secret' must match on both User Manager and RadioOS routers.

Add login/password information, that account will be able to access RadioOS. login is CableFree, password is CableFree.
